Angelfish Breeding Setup - Does this seem right?

[FrozenFins]

Hey,

I'm looking to start breeding angelfish!!

Here is what I plan for my setup to look like does this seems alright?
20 Gallon - Angelfish Pair to lay eggs (I will have two angel pairs)

10 Gallon - First week or two of frys life x2

40 Gallon - For the 3 week old angelfish (only one one of these but do you think I could divide the 40 in half to a 20 to support two different batches of fry?)

That sounds like a great setup. 

Just make sure that you have a plan for all of the fry. when they grow up, you probably won't be able to hold them all.

Are you sure you want 2 breeding pairs in a 20 gallon? They might fight and that won’t cause breeding.

It could be good enough, but are you planning to try to raise every batch of eggs that they lay? A pair of angels could spawn every 10-14 days if you let them, and you'll quickly become over run with fry. I would say with what you have planned you could do a batch of fey from each pair and then when you get them to sellable size, nickel or larger, and start to sell to a LFS or whatever then put a cone or slate in and let them lay again.

That could work. I think if you tried dividing the babies though inevitably some would end up mixed together. I'd either keep the same strain for both pairs so all babies can go together, or 2 strains so different you can grow out the babies together and easily differentiate. Might be easier to just add another 40 to avoid the hassle, not sure what your space situation is though.
